  • Connecting structure for connecting a liquid crystal display and a flexible flat cable
    Patent number: 4842373
    Abstract: A connecting structure for connecting a liquid crystal display and a flexible flat cable by soldering electrode terminals formed over the lower glass substrate of the liquid crystal display and connecting electrodes formed over the surface of the free end of the flexible flat cable, and by solidifying the junction of the liquid crystal display and the flexible flat cable with a resin. Through holes are formed in the free end of the flexible flat cable between the connecting electrodes at an appropriate pitch so that the through holes extend lengthwise across the end of the lower glass substrate when the flexible flat cable is put in place on the lower glass substrate.
